Has anyone’s delusions or paranoia ever turned out to be true? (In others eyes too)
This is happening to me right now with the pharmacy situation. They really are doing all that bad stuff to me.

Wouldn’t be a delusion/paranoia at that point. But no. I mostly have bizarre delusions

It isn’t by definition paranoid thinking because they really are stealing my medication and trying to infect me and other stuff. True! I am going to tell my dr and husband that. Thanks!! Reframing that really has helped me. @Grookey
I’m not saying you aren’t delusional. I’m saying a belief is real it’s not a delusion. Why do you think it’s real?

I understand what you’re saying. Thanks. I have proof. I don’t know how much I can say really without giving my identity away. Sorry.

Everybody believes their delusions and paranoia are true. I kinda wonder why the the pharmacy would really pick on you like that and risk their reputations and possible legal action if what you say is true.

I thought my friend had drugged me with LSD.
You are sick. Nobody is stealing or trying to infect you.
If it bothers you so much go to another pharmacy.

When I was hospitalized for the first time I feared that one day I’d be gone and the devil would take my place.
It did come true in a way, I lost my sense of self. I don’t fear the devil taking my place.
My delusion that people don’t particularly like me? Yes many times.
No real delusions, no. Paranoia is a different beast. Even when you consider yourself stable its difficult to tell sometimes the difference between suspicions and real sz related paranoia.
I’ve had paranoia about people that used to come to the house while my father was still alive. I believed they were there to take advantage or were going to get arrested doing something shady and I didn’t want it to be at our place. I pretty much chased them all away just in time. Anyone I didn’t I regretted eventually.
I’ve only experienced the opposite. An event will occur, like an off-duty officer following me from an establishment all the way home. After the event, I become paranoid that it’s happening everytime I go out. In this case, I react by staying under the speed limit, not touching my phone, checking my rearview mirror frequently and going somewhere different than planned (like Big Lots instead of home). I rehearse talking to officers, get scared if I see them no matter where I am, etc. I constantly feel followed and watched if I go out by myself, though.
For me, there have been several such events- a fire in the house has made me overly worried about fires, or cameras at work years ago have left me worried about cameras. And that causes delusions to form. Since several issues have happened, though, it’s hard to convince me that it’s not real because I know that it CAN be.
I was at the gym with my friend. I was very paranoid because I saw a guy filming me with his phone camera. When we got home afterwards I told my friend what I saw. Turns out, she saw the same thing.
Can that proof be verified by a third party? Because it’s not proof if it isn’t verifiable by someone other than you.
I was paranoid about mass government surveillance back in the early 90s. A lot of the things came to reality although I have come to accept that some forms of surveillance are a good thing.
